Frequently asked questions

How long do tours last for?

On average, our campus tours last 45 mins to an hour, but should you require a relaxed pace tour, please join us from 4pm. A relaxed pace tour, on average, lasts over an hour and includes regular breaks during the tour whilst covering all the campuses and includes the same information as our regular tour.

When you arrive, you will have an opportunity to either have an individual tour or join a group tour of no more than 15 students, followed by two student ambassadors.

Can family and friends come along too?

We know you'll be seeking the advice and guidance of your family when making your decision, but we want to ensure all prospective students have the opportunity to visit the campus. Therefore, our campus tours are currently limited to a maximum of two guests per prospective student.

Can I attend by myself if I’m under 18 years old?

If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Is parking available?

We have very limited spaces available, so unfortunately, we cannot provide parking at the moment. Please try to make alternative arrangements.
